We investigate a braneworld model generated by a global monopole in the context of Brans-Dicke gravity. After solving the dynamical equations we found a model capable to alleviate the so-called hierarchy problem. The obtained framework is described by a hybrid compactification scheme endowed with a seven-dimensional spacetime, in which the brane has four non-compact dimensions and two curled extra dimensions. The relevant aspects of the resulting model are studied and the requirements to avoid the well known seesaw-like behavior are discussed. We show that under certain conditions it is possible to circumvent such a pathological behavior that characterizes most of the models that exhibit hybrid compactification. Lastly, we deepen our analysis by considering possible extensions of this model to a setup with multiple branes and orbifold-like extra dimension. For this, we compute the consistency conditions to be obeyed by this more general configuration as predicted by the braneworld sum rules formalism. This study indicates the possibility of exclusively positive brane tensions in the model.

In recent past, W.A.Hiscock [ Class.Quan.Grav. (1990) 7,6235 ] studied the semi classical gravitational effects around global monopole. He obtained the vacuum expectation value of the stress-energy tensor of an arbitrary collection of conformal mass less free quantum fields (scalar, spinor and vectors) in the space time of a global monopole. With this stress-energy tensor, we study the semi classical gravitational effects of a global monopole in the context of Brans-Dicke theory of gravity.
In this paper we analyze the gravitational field of a global monopole in the context of $f(R)$ gravity. More precisely, we show that the field equations obtained are expressed in terms of $F(R)=frac{df(R)}{dR}$. Since we are dealing with a spherically symmetric system, we assume that $F(R)$ is a function of the radial coordinate only. Moreover, adopting the weak field approximation, we can provide all components of the metric tensor. A comparison with the corresponding results obtained in General Relativity and in the Brans-Dicke theory is also made.
Observation shows that the velocities of stars grow by approximately 2 to 3 orders of magnitude when the distances from the centers of the galaxies are in the range of $0.5$ kpc to $82.3$ kpc, before they begin to tend to a constant value. Up to know, the reason for this behavior is still a matter for debate. In this work, we propose a model which adequately describes this unusual behavior using a (nearly) cylindrical symmetrical solution in the framework of a scalar-tensor-like (the Brans-Dicke model) theory of gravity.
Memory effects are studied in the simplest scalar-tensor theory, the Brans--Dicke (BD) theory. To this end, we introduce, in BD theory, novel Kundt spacetimes (without and with gyratonic terms), which serve as backgrounds for the ensuing analysis on memory. The BD parameter $omega$ and the scalar field ($phi$) profile, expectedly, distinguishes between different solutions. Choosing specific localised forms for the free metric functions $H(u)$ (related to the wave profile) and $J(u)$ (the gyraton) we obtain displacement memory effects using both geodesics and geodesic deviation. An interesting and easy-to-understand exactly solvable case arises when $omega=-2$ (with $J(u)$ absent) which we discuss in detail. For other $omega$ (in the presence of $J$ or without), numerically obtained geodesics lead to results on displacement memory which appear to match qualitatively with those found from a deviation analysis. Thus, the issue of how memory effects in BD theory may arise and also differ from their GR counterparts, is now partially addressed, at least theoretically, within the context of this new class of Kundt geometries.
In this paper we suggest an approach to analyse the motion of a test particle in the spacetime of a global monopole within a $f(R)$-like modified gravity. The field equations are written in a more simplified form in terms of $F(R)=frac{df(R)}{dR}$. Since we are dealing with a spherically symmetric problem, $F(R)$ is expressed as a radial function ${cal F}(r)equiv{F(R(r))}$. So, the choice of a specific form for $f(R)$ will be equivalent to adopt an Ansatz for ${cal F}(r)$. By choosing an explicit functional form for ${cal F}(r)$ we obtain the weak field solutions for the metric tensor, compute the time-like geodesics and analyse the motion of a massive test particle. An interesting feature is an emerging attractive force exerted by the monopole on the particle.
